All about Mye life

Before I leave the house for work I’ve been eyeing my new slipper to bring with me since the weather bureau said that it would be a rainy afternoon today. But I changed my mind and instead wear my black heeled sandals. To spare me from beating the 8:30am time because of the jeepney’s waiting to fill up before moving on, I decided to just cross the street and move to the other side where jeepney’s will just pick you up then proceed.

So I already crossed the other street when I felt that my left sandals loosen up, I stop and I thought “oh my goodness, it did snap apart!” What an embarrassing moment! I scanned the area and I knew some people notice that something 's wrong with my footwear. But I did what I need to do, I picked up my broken sandals, walked barefooted (but with my right sandals on) and careful not to let them notice I’m limping ( just like in a candy commercial) but I was scared that I will step on some broken glass. I immediately called our office and asked my colleague to ask for one of our couriers to pick me up because there is no way I can ride the jeepney with my situation. I wouldn’t dare and I will never ever try. Good thing after few minutes my rescue came and he is really laughing seeing me holding my other sandals.

I was so irritated knowing that I have lots of shoes and it happened to me. I should really rely on my instincts, if I bring those slippers with me, all is well and good despite on that unfortunate events. Charge it again to another experience. Good thing it’s Friday and I can only think of nice weekends ahead.

Are you familiar with this phrase “if I can’t have it, neither can you”?  It is commonly known as crab mentality.  Well, this is the way to describe the recent events that happened in our office yesterday.  My outgoing supervisor called me (in a very serious tone) and he let me read an email.  It was from anonymous sender that degrading one of our male officemate who was assigned as our officer in-charge in our project.  He or she stated in the email that all those resigned contractual employees was being mishandled and mistreated by him and they were forced to resign because of that.  It was utterly lies and we all know the reasons behind it.  The funny thing is, he/she sent the email to all top management and we wonder how can he/she do that (events, emails address, persons and even my officemate personal data) if he/she’s not from our company too?  We have a lead on who might do that but only God knows why and what are his/her intentions on doing some bad and harmful emails like that.

Crab mentality refers to these people who wanted to pull his friends or colleagues down simply because he resent their success.  I remember the case of my husband who once experienced it and he really wonders why they can’t let him achieve his hard earned work and instead thrash talking behind his back, entailing bad rumors and gossips about him. I’ve been bragging this to my facebook account and these haters knew that it’s them.  You can never let a good man down.

I thought typhoon Santi will stop the entire trick or treat activities yesterday. It was my first time that I didn’t sleep because the massive winds and rains created a scary sound around our house in Laguna. You can feel that the storm is just beside your house, rattling the roofs and toppling the trees around.

But thank God that it was gone in the morning, though still raining, at least the hard winds stopped. The activities resumed that afternoon to the delight of the kids. My mom and my Aunt made their special “suman” for snacks and we did grilled tuna fish and pork for lunch.

It was Franzine first time to join the trick or treat in Laguna and she was so excited that she can’t sleep or eat the night before the activity. And she walked all the way from house to house shouting “trick or treat!” and jumping around while singing some songs. Vince and Mico came with her and though the organizers told us that we can continue doing it at the club house because it started to rain again, the kids wanted to walk around by themselves, we just followed them with the car in tow (just in case).

Here are some of the photos from the event and typhoon Santi in action =)

nothing can stop them getting the candies =)

For the first time this year, I caught this irritating cough that causing me some sleepless nights.  I tried my usual cough medicine but the ever changing weather is not helping me recover.  I’ve been in and out of a hot-cold environment and my body is not responding well and the results, cough with headache and my body aches a lot. 

Recent news said that another typhoon (named Santi) is coming to town on or before this weekend. Just in time for the Halloween celebration.  I just hope it will move its way and spare our country in further harm.  It’s really hard to recover from all the losses that these past two typhoons brought us.  Also, we will offer a special mass for Tatay this Friday at St. Andrew Cathedral and some of hubby’s relatives will be coming over. 

November 2 (Monday) was declared as a special non-working holiday.  Just in time that I really need to rest this weak body of mine.  We have plans of going to Laguna but it depends if it rains a lot.  I’m still under medication and we will be back to the doctor next week.  I’m still expecting a lot to happen this year.  Let’s pray for that.

What are the ways to celebrate our wedding anniversary? We used to go out of town and spent it some special places but I don’t want this time because of the recent flooding that hit Metro Manila and the northern Luzon. We planned on going up to Baguio but I’m happy that we didn’t pursue the bookings. Palawan adventure is in the plan but we needed a 1-week vacation from the office and that’s not possible for us.

So we took a 2-day vacation leave and we did the celebration here in our home and by just going to some busy places like Mall of Asia. We played bowling and we stroll to the max. And on the day of our anniversary, we went to Divisoria. I know it’s kind of weird but I want to take that opportunity to buy some cheap stuff for December like the wholesale prices of Christmas wrappers, gift tags and bargaining on some baking utensils like muffin and cup cake pans. I never forget to buy new curtains for our room windows and wood chopping board and belts for my sister. We are so busy strolling around that after we went out to our last pit stop in Tutuban mall, it's dinner time already and we are so hungry! I can never compete on my hubby’s walking power and before I know it, my feet are really aching! But this was such a bonding moments for us. And I’m really happy to spend the whole day with him like this. Our very own special ways to celebrate our love and devotion. =)
